Right first things first will give you a full run down of my hardware
Gigabyte SINXP1934
P4 3.06ghz
Swiftech MCX478-V + tornado
OCZ Platinum 1gig 3200
Asus 9800XT
Sound Blaster Audigy
adaptec Scsi 29160
The issues im having appear to be gfx based but that has just been replaced from the 9700pro i did have to the 9800....
The problem im having is my PC locking up randomly when playing games and benchmarking..
although when i am playing games, if i am running mp3s they keep going so its like it dies completly
i have tried all the difernt drivers under the sun inlcuding the omega drivers...
i have flashed my bios to f6 and i have the latest agp drivers installed
i am running xp at the moment and had the same problems under 2k
i have stripped my system down to the barebone just my gfx card and one hdd connected and still got the same problems...
the only thing i think of is a faulty mobo or compatiabilty issues with gigabyte and ati chipsets
if its the mobo what would u recomend....
prefably not gigabyte
i need one that has sata and is good for oc....
thanks mike
